PSS Remeliik II

PSS Remeliik II is a Guardian-class patrol boat in the service of Palau's Division of Maritime Law Enforcement, built, and provided by Australia to replace the Pacific Forum patrol boat PSS Remeliik.

[1] In the late 1980s and early 1990s Australia helped its smaller neighbours, in the Pacific Forum by building small patrol boats so they could protect their own sovereignty.

But, like the original Pacific Forum boats, they were designed to use commercial off-the-shelf components, so they would be easier to maintain in small isolated shipyards.

[1] Melissa Price, Australian Minister for Defence Industry, handed the vessel over to Paluan officials on September 18, 2020.

[2][3] The handover was delayed due to the quarantine of the Palauan crew in order prevent the spread of COVID-19.
